EDUARDO ROSALES Madrid 1836 - 1873 Study of the head of Saint John the Evangelist? Oil on canvas Measurements 35 x 28 cm Before dying when he was seriously ill, Eduardo Rosales attempted to complete what would be his last commission: the decoration of the pendentives of the Church of Santo Tomás in Madrid. In his retirement in Murcia, he was barely able to finish two of the Evangelists - Saint John and Saint Matthew -, now in the Jerónimos Church in Madrid. This work may be a first approximation of one of the Evangelist saints. On the back, old label of the Board of Seizure and Protection of Artistic Heritage (Villalobos collection). Provenance: - Testament of Rosales (see label on the back with the signatures of Vicente Palmaroli and Gabriel Maureta). - Private collection, Madrid. Work exhibited at: - Exhibition 1st Centenary of the death of Eduardo Rosales (1873 - 1973), Museo del Prado, no. 52 (label on the back).
